Something Worth Fighting For

The matches continued onward during the Sports Festival, and many opponents faced many ups and downs during the matches. Some won and moved on, while most of the others lost or gave up the match. Some others gave it there all, though in the end, some only had doubts in their minds only after the fight had been done. The last thing she heard, Tenya had been up against someone from the support course.

When the festival began, Reina would've thought she would see her friends giving their all in the third match and cheering them on.

Though she didn't expect that she would be spending most of her time in Recovery Girl's office, going through the standard test after her first match, to make sure everything had checked out. One test after another it had reminded her of the time she spent in the hospital, and how she felt scared at first. She never understood the points of the test, though she allowed them to do what they needed to. She had just been finishing up as they had been testing out her Quirk.

She had used her abilities just to lift a pencil up off the ground, which of course she had been successful at, as she had been showing Chiyo and Shimizu.

"Alright, everything checks out." Shimizu said as she had been typing something on her phone, "You'll be all set for your next match before you know it."

"See you two?" Reina said to them as she went to take her sword that had been hanging off a hook, "I told you guys that I'm just fine."

"You can't blame us for getting worried." Shimizu said.

"You should be more careful, Reina-chan." Chiyo told her, "If you go past the time limit on your Quirk, like you did in your first match, than you'll put yourself in a coma."

"And like I told you, I don't even remember how I won that fight." She told her, "So how can I make sure it doesn't happen if I can't remember it?"

"Look, we're just trying to say that you should be more careful." Shimizu reasoned, "You know that's all, don't you?"

Reina gave only but a look in Shimizu's eyes and her expression softened, "I know that. I'll be just fine. I'll be careful with whoever I'm going to fight next."

Shimizu gave a smile as did Chiyo. "Well, you better hurry back to your classmates." Chiyo said, "We'll be sure to update Aizawa-sensei."

"That would be much appreciated." Reina said with a smile before she went to head out the door, "Thanks again you two."

She started to go down the hall and was about to make her way up the stairs, when she ran into someone. Turns out it had been her classmate Ochaco Uraraka, who looked nervous. "Hey, Uraraka-chan." Reina said, "I thought you would be back at the stands with everyone else."

Ochaco gave a nervous laugh, "Yeah, as much as I would love to catch up on the matches, I have to get ready for my own!"

Reina soon noticed that she started to sweat. "Um…" Reina said worryingly, "... Are you okay?"

"We gotta talk!" Ochaco suddenly said as she grabbed her wrist.

Before Reina could protest, she suddenly found herself getting pulled down the hall, despite Ochaco not activating her Quirk.

-Player 1 Waiting Room-

Katsuki didn't go back to the stands like everyone else did; instead he decided to get ready for the match that was to come. He did admit that he had a certain thought on his mind. No, it hadn't been for the match, he wasn't at all nervous.

It was something else entirely. Many could probably guess what it had been from the look on his face. He wouldn't lie about the fact that half the reason he did come here was so that he could have privacy. Though at the moment he had been at a stump.

Right now he was doing stretches to get himself warmed up for the coming fight. All the while some music had been playing, on the speakers of his phone. It helped him put his mind at ease, though he couldn't help but admit it helped him with something else too.

The song that had been playing wasn't one he normally wouldn't listen to, and something he hadn't been very fond of. This song in particular had caught his ears.

"Every night I lie in bed

The brightest colors fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all is gonna take

A million dreams for the world we're gonna make"

"Wow. I didn't know you were the type to listen to musicals."

Katsuki flinched at the sound of a familiar voice. He turned and saw it had been Chouko, though soon afterwards he continued to stretch. "That's from the movie Greatest Showman right?" Chouko asked, "I remember seeing it with my parents. I loved it despite what the Critics said. Did you watch the movie too?"

Katsuki didn't answer as he stood up, as he hit the pause button on his phone.

"I heard about what happened with your match." Katsuki said as he started shaking out his arms, "You were up against the Half 'n' Half bastard right?"

"Ah, you mean Todoroki-san." Chouko said, "It was a freak accident, he didn't mean to lash out the way he did. He gave me his apology when I woke up, which was nice, but I know it wasn't his fault. Sad to say that I won't be able to take the gold, but there's always next year." She soon gave an amused smile as she leaned against the table, "Were you worried about me Tough Guy?"

"Don't flatter yourself, Chicken Wings." He said, "You're a fighter. There's no way something like that would bring you down."

Chouko couldn't help but giggle, "You're as complicated as Reina-chan described. Though I'll take what you said as a compliment."

Katsuki turned a little red at the mention of Reina; he looked away from Chouko before she could see the face he had been making. She gave a smile before she noticed what looked to be pen and paper on the table. There looked to be something scribbled on it.

"Oh, what's this?" She said as she took the paper off the table.

"HEY! HOLD ON!" Katsuki yelled as he went to grab it from her hands, though Chouko had been too quick, "DON'T LOOK AT THAT!"

"To the girl who is worth more than a million dreams…" Chouko read as her eyes sparkled a little, "Are you writing a love letter Bakugou-san?"

"DON'T START READING IT!!" Katsuki said angrily, "GO DIE FEATHER BRAIN!"

Her eyes seemed to widen in realization, as she looked to him in awe, "Could this letter be for Reina-chan?"

"HOW THE HELL DID YOU EVEN FIGURE THAT OUT!?" He shouted.

"Kirishima-kun told me about it." Chouko said with a smile, "Plus it's written all over your face."

Katsuki immediately covered his face with his hands, as he growled, "Goddamn it Shitty Hair." He mumbled before he asked, "How much did he tell you?"

"He only told me about your crush on her." She replied calmly with a smile, "How you're just madly in love with a sweet girl like her!"

"LIKE HELL I'M MADLY IN LOVE WITH HER!!" He shouted.

Chouko only giggled again, "The red on your face says otherwise."

Katsuki went to cover his face again, as Chouko laughed again. "I'm glad you decided to take Kirishima-kun's advice. Goes to show you how good of a friend he can be. I have to admit though, the way you started it does sound a bit corny."

Katsuki had been taken back by this as Chouko sat down in one of the many seats provided, "Maybe you don't reveal what you feel at the beginning. That takes away the surprise and the building up out of it. How about you start out with something simple, like, 'Dear Reina' or 'To Reina'?"

"You know about crap like this?" Katsuki asked her as he sat down next to her.

"I may have had one or two people like this during my time in middle school." She replied with a confident smile, "Granted Fu-kun and Kage-chan weren't really into the idea of people swarming around me like a hive, but hey, these kind of things tend to happen."

"I take it you were popular with guys?"

"Girls mostly. They may or may not have snuck a letter or two in my locker."

Katsuki raised his eyebrow at this, since he didn't expect that kind of thing from his classmate. "Never thought you were on that side of the fence." He couldn't help but be amused.

She still had a confident smile on her face, "Nice to know that someone other my family is cool with what I like." Chouko soon thought of something, "Hey! We got time before your match begins, what do you say I help you put together that letter?"

Katsuki merely scoffed at this, "Like I need help with some stupid letter."

"Come on Bakugou-san." She said, "Hate to be the one to say it, but I don't your an expert in writing these things. We can start by putting together a list, about what it is you like about Reina-chan specially. I'll even help out, if you'd let me."

Katsuki was about to retort, though he looked at the letter, or at least the start of the letter. He gave out a sigh, "Fine." He growled, "But only for a minute."

"Great!" Chouko said excitedly, "How exciting, it's like a little group project!"

"Don't read into it Chicken Wings." Katsuki told her, "Let's just get this crap over with."

***

Tenya had been stomping angrily down the hall with Floyd and Gio walking beside him to get him to calm down.

"I can't believe the nerve of that girl!" Tenya said, "Using me as a mascot just so she can get noticed!"

"Easy my dude." Floyd said to him as he patted him on the shoulder, "At least you won the match and you were able to move on."

"But… That's only because she stepped out of the ring on purpo--" Gio started to say before he had been cut off by Floyd as he hit him with an ink hammer.

Floyd soon added calmly as he looked at Tenya "Like I said, chill man. Move on."

"Maybe you're right…" Tenya started to say, "... Still I can't help but feel mad!"

Floyd added, "Think of it this way. Consider this a learning experience!"

"But it doesn't count if she stepped out on--" Gio started to say again, only to be cut off by Floyd when he kicked him in the shin.

Floyd whispered to Gio, "Dude I'm trying to cheer him up here!"

They soon reached the Player 2 waiting room, and went to head inside. Little did they know, two people had been in the room already.

"Good work Iida-kun!"

They recognized this voice as belonging to Ochaco. "Oh hey Uraraka!" Gio said, "So this is where you--JIMINY CHRISTMAS!!"

The three of them jumped at the sight of Ochaco's face, as she had a cold hard glare with her brows furrowed.

"WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE CUTE URARAKA!?" Gio shouted.

Floyd exclaimed, "IS SHE POSSESSED BY A STAND?!"

Gio gasped, "YOU KNOW JOJO?!"

Floyd replied as he sounded calm, "Of course, I'm cultured."

"YOU'RE NOT LIKE YOURSELF AT ALL!" Tenya yelled, "YOUR BROWS ARE ALL WRINKLED!!"

"My brow?" Ochaco said as her eyebrow twitched.

Reina suddenly peeked out from behind her, "He means your face Uraraka-chan."

"Oh hey Reina!" Gio suddenly said as he sounded casual.

"YOU'RE STILL HERE!?" Tenya and Floyd shouted.

"Seriously you two?" Reina said, "You don't have to shout."

Ochaco soon calmed down as she giggled a little, "Sorry, it's just my nerves… Must've reached my brow."

"REALLY!? YOU CALL THAT NERVES!?" Floyd couldn't help but yell.

"What are you still doing here Reina-kun?" Tenya soon asked, "I thought for sure you would head back to the stands after Kenko-san and Recovery Girl looked you over."

"Funny story." Reina started to say, "I was on my way back, but I ran into Uraraka-chan. She wanted some advice on her upcoming match."

The three of them looked a bit confused, as to why she had that look on her face. It hadn't been long before the three of them realized why. "That's right!" Gio said, "Your opponent is supposed to be explodey boy Bakugou right?"

"You're fighting against the Piss Head?" Floyd said.

"Yeah…" Ochaco said, looking down at the table, "... If I had to be honest, I'm really scared, but…" She soon looked to both Reina and Tenya, "After watching a match like Iida-kun's and talking to Reina-chan, I'm a bit more at ease."

"A match like mine?" Tenya said, a bit confused.

Reina on the other hand turned red from embarrassment, "It's uh--Not a problem Uraraka-chan! Though I wouldn't really say I was much help with what I told you!"

Ochaco gave her a smile, "You know… Even though the two of you aren't related, you kind of act like Deku."

"I do?" Reina said as she tilted her head.

"Is she that oblivious!?" Floyd exclaimed in his thoughts.

As if they had spoken of the devil, Izuku soon stepped into the room, surprising the group. "Oh Deku!" Ochaco said, "We were just talking about you."

"You don't want to watch the match with the others?" Tenya asked.

"Most of them ended quickly." Izuku replied, "Right now Kirishima-kun is up against someone from class B."

"You mean his act alike Tetsutetsu?" Gio said surprised, "They're both equally matched, so there wouldn't be a point since it'll just end in a tie! I mean, what are they gonna do, decide the match via arm wrestling?"

Floyd gave a laugh as he said, "I bet it's more of a case of Spider man vs Spider man."

Gio looked at him wide-eyed, as he put his hand on his shoulder, "You are the most cultured man I have ever met…"

"This is really your main concern right now?" Reina said, not looking amused at all.

"Then after his match…" Ochaco said, "... It'll be my turn to fight."

"Come on, don't look so down!" Gio said with a reassured smile, "When you really think about it, fighting Bakugou can't be that bad!"

"Gio-kun does have a point." Tenya said, "I know Bakugou-kun is a great fighter in all, but I don't think he would use his strength on a girl."

Tenya, Ochaco and Gio noticed Izuku, Reina and Floyd having an awkward look on their faces, as they had looked to one another; the three of them groaned in unison.

"He WOULDN'T… Right?" Gio asked the three of them.

Floyd started to reply as he hissed his breath through his teeth, "Knowing him, yeah.'

Izuku and Reina nodded their heads as they had agreed with Floyd's answer, making their jaws drop. "Seriously!?" Tenya exclaimed, "Even when you're training with him, Reina-kun!?"

"Pretty much." Reina said with a shrug, "The thing you should know about Katsuki-kun, he never--and I mean NEVER goes easy on someone when it comes to fighting."

Floyd added with a nod, "Even if he pisses off someone and wants to fight him."

"Though I can understand why." Izuku soon said, "Everyone here is trying to become number one to make their dreams come true. Even if it is Kaa-chan, no one would even think about holding back." He soon looked over to Ochaco as he soon took out his notebook, "Other than Reina-chan and Floyd-san… You've helped me so much Uraraka-san, so… I thought maybe I can help you out a little. A plan you can use against Kaa-chan's Quirk. It's rough, but I think I came up with something."

Tenya, Gio, and Floyd's expression brightened, while Reina and Ochaco remained unphased by this. "Isn't that great Uraraka-kun?" Tenya asked.

"Yeah, with a plan that Izuku came up with, you got this one in the bag!" Gio said with a grin.

Floyd added with a smile, "Yeah man, Bakugou won't know what'll hit him!"

Ochaco and Reina looked to one another before Reina motioned her to say what she wanted to say, "Thanks Deku." Ochaco said to him, "But… It's fine."

They all looked at her surprised. "Wait… You don't want to go with Izuku's plan?" Floyd asked, "Why not?"

Ochaco soon started to explain to herself, "You're… Amazing. You, Deku, Reina-chan, you all are. And I keep seeing more amazing to the three of you." She looked over to Izuku, "Deku… During the cavalry battle, I though it would be easier to team up with friends, but… After I talked to Reina-chan about it, when I look back on it now… I might've been trying to rely on you. That's why… Back when Iida-kun challenged you, it actually made me feel embarrassed."

"Uraraka-san…" Izuku said concerned.

"Aren't you being a bit hard on yourself there?" Gio asked.

"No I'm not." Ochaco replied as she stood up from the seat, and went towards the door, "That's why it's fine. Everyone's facing the future and trying their hardest. That means, we're all rivals, right? That's why…"

She looked at the group, even though she had a fearful look on her face, she still had a smile; her hand shook as she gave them a thumbs up, "Let's meet up in the finals!"

Thus she made her exit, leaving the group stunned by her words. Reina soon stood up and went out the door too. "We should go and cheer her on." Reina said to them, "She'll be sure to give it everything she has in the fight."

"Hold on a second!" Izuku soon said to stop her, "What was it that Uraraka-san came to ask you about anyway?"

Reina only gave a smile, before she gave him a pat on the head, "Sorry Izuku-kun. But that's a secret between us girls." And with that being said, she left the room, with the group eventually following behind her.

***

It felt as though an hour had passed, but despite Katsuki's protest they were able to put together the list. Chouko had been surprised by what he had come up with at the top of his head, as she looked over the list over and over. She saw what she had written down for him was genuine and true. Honestly it had surprised her, and she could see that it surprised him as well.

They both checked over the list again, looking over everything. She had been surprised that it had been written with only five things.

"Is this really all Bakugou-san?" Chouko asked him, "Are you sure there isn't more?"

"How many times are you going to ask that?" Katsuki said annoyed, "Yes this is my thoughts, about her and I would never think otherwise."

"I must say this is something I didn't expect." She said, checking it over, "Than again, like Midoriya-san you are certainly full of surprises."

Katsuki mumbled something incoherent before he noticed the time on the clock overhead; Chouko noticed this as well. "Goodness, I didn't realize the time." She said, "It's time for your match isn't it?"

"Yeah." Katsuki said as he stood up, removing the charm from his pocket, mumbling a curse when he realized the string was still broken. "That good luck charm…" Chouko said, "... Reina-chan gave that to you didn't she?"

Katsuki didn't answer directly as he responded, "I meant to get it fixed before the fight."

"Well it's an easy fix with the string." Chouko said as she took it from his hand, hanging it around his neck and tied a knot just at the back, "Though if you don't want it to break again, than I suggest you get it replaced with a chain."

"Whatever." Katsuki said with a shrug.

Right when he was about to make his way out the door, he gave a glance back over to Chouko, "About the list… Thank you for helping me put it together."

"Sure, it's no problem." Chouko said with a shrug, "It's the kind of things friends do for each other."

Katsuki only stayed silent at this before he spoke up again, "... The list thing… I'd appreciate it if you keep it on the down low alright?"

Chouko raised an eyebrow at this, "Why?"

"One it's personal, two I'd rather not start a fight over something stupid with a certain Inkhead and three…" Katsuki said, "...If Reina saw what was on the list before I started writing the letter… I'd lose her."

Her eyes softened at this when she noticed the tone of his voice change. She gave a smile, "You can count on me Bakugou-san. Good luck in your fight."

Katsuki merely gave a scoff, before he started to make his way to the stage.

The match between Eijirou and Tetsutetsu ended up with a draw, making half the audience disappointed, but most of them impressed by the twos abilities, since they were both eerily similar to each other as many of the Pro Heroes already thought about making one of the two or both their sidekicks. The next round was about to begin.

"Here we are ladies and gentlemen!" Present Mic said over the PA, "The eighth and last match of the first round!"

Ochaco and Katsuki stepped on the opposite sides of the stage, both of them ready to fight.

"He was kind of famous in middle school!" Present Mic said, "This isn't the face of a regular person, from the Hero Course… KATSUKI BAKUGOU!!"

Most of the crowd cheered for him, though Floyd on the other hand had other things to say. He yelled from where he sat, "

"And his opponent--She's the one I'm rooting for--From the Hero Course… OCHACO URARAKA!!"

While her classmates and the rest of the crowd cheered for Ochaco, Reina looked at the two of them, as she had a mixture of worry and fear written on her face. "Uraraka-chan… Katsuki-kun…" She started to say in her thoughts, "... I'll be cheering you both on. Both of you, do your best."

"Hey!" Katsuki said, getting Ochaco's attention, "You're the one that makes things float… Right Round Face?"

"Round Face?!" She said surprised by his nickname for her.

"If you're gonna withdraw, do it now." He told her, "You won't get off just by saying 'ouch'."

Ochaco at first almost took his suggestion, but remembered Reina's words, as he soon had a look of determination towards him. Though he gave off no change in his facial features, he saw the look in her eyes, as he soon got himself ready.

"LET THE EIGHTH MATCH BEGIN!!" Present Mic soon shouted.

Thus the fight between the two began.

Ochaco went charging head first, while Katsuki stood there.

"Withdrawing isn't a choice for me!" She said.

"If that's the case…" Katsuki said as he opened his palm, "THAN DIE!!"

Just as Ochaco went to dodge, Katsuki went down and under, taking everyone back when a large explosion was seen, surprising everyone in the ground. "HOLY CRAP!!" Gio exclaimed at the blast.

"URARAKA!!" Izuku, Tenya, and Floyd shouted.

Reina's eyes widened at Katsuki's attack, though she dared not to look away at the match before her. She knew she had to keep watching, for the sake of the two on the stage right now. Ochaco managed to recover from the blast, and she found that she was still safe as she wasn't outside of the ring.

"Even if I knew about it, I couldn't react in time." Ochaco thought to herself before she readied her next move.

"I'll take care of you!" Katsuki said as he readied himself.

He saw movement in the smoke, and immediately he went to attack.

"DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME!!" He yelled as he attacked.

He created another explosion that made the crowd jump at the sound of it. when the smoke had cleared, he saw that it was not Ochaco, but rather her jacket instead. She appeared behind him out of the smoke, leaving the crowd surprised at this.

"Oh, what's this?!" Present Mic said, "She made her jacket float over there!? She did it in an instant too!"

"HOO YEAH URARAKA!" Gio cheered.

Ochaco went to thrust her hand towards him, attempting to touch his back, "If I make him float now--Than I'll win this!"

BOOM!

The crowd had been taken back when they saw Ochaco fly across the stage suddenly, after Katsuki turned around after activating his Quirk again, though she managed to recover from the blast.

"He moved after he saw her!?" Sero said surprised.

"His reaction time is crazy!" Denki said.

Floyd couldn't help but shout to him, "Oi Piss-Head! this is a fight, not a massacre!"

Ochaco went to charge at him again, attempting to use her Quirk, though he was quick to attack back. "YOU'RE TOO SLOW!" Katsuki shouted as he attacked with full force, sending her flying once again.

This didn't stop her, as she went to charge again.

"TAKE THIS!" She shouted.

An explosion had been made again, as Ochaco had been flying once more, at this point it had left the crowd terrified as it had become a repeating pattern.

"Oh God!" Kyoka exclaimed, "I don't know which was worse! Reina's fight or this one!"

"Bakugou…" Mineta said, "... Don't tell me your taste runs in THAT direction."

"Get your mind out of the gutter damn it!" Floyd said, hitting him on the head as he looked back to the fight taking place, "That piss head..at this rate he's really gonna kill her."

Reina watched as Ochaco kept on attacking and attacking. Though no matter how hard she tried, Katsuki would always prove to be faster than she was. Even so she couldn't look away, despite her wanting to do so.

"You really shouldn't worry yourself , Rei-chan."

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the boy with her red hat sitting beside her, watching the fight. She was of course surprised to see him there, though she kept herself quiet so as not to alert any of her other classmates.

"You don't have to be scared for her or him." She heard him say, "That girl may not look it, but she's strong. If you of all people can see that… Then I'm sure he can too."

Reina's eyes widened at this as she turned to the boy, but when she did, he had been gone once again leaving her just shocked. She jumped when she heard the explosions come again causing her attention to be drawn back over to the fight taking place.

The crowd started to get restless, as most of them started to boo at Katsuki as his onslaught continued on and on.

"HEY! SHOULDN'T ONE OF YOU TEACHERS STOP THIS!?"

"ISN'T HE GOING TOO FAR!?"

"HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF A HERO IF YOU KEEP ON ACTING LIKE THAT!? HURRY UP AND SEND HER OUT OF BOUNDS!"

"STOP BULLYING AND PLAYING AROUND THE POOR GIRL!"

"JUST END THE FIGHT!"

"COME ON MAN! THIS IS TOO MUCH EVEN FOR YOU!!" Gio shouted as he joined the crowd.

Floyd had joined in on this too, "HEY PISS HEAD! THAT'S ENOUGH ALREADY!"

Josephine shouted from where she sat as did Lena, "LEAVE HER ALONE!"

"There's a booing from part of the crowd…" Present Mic said, "... But honestly I feel the sa--"

Everyone had been taken back by the screech from the microphone, which took back the crowd. Reina had been very taken back when she heard a familiar come through the PA.

"Was that a Pro Hero saying he's playing around? How many years has he been a Pro?"

"Shota?" Reina said surprised.

"Aizawa-sensei?" Her whole class said as surprised as she had been.

"If you're saying that with a straight face, there's no point in you watching anymore so go home!" He said, surprising the whole crowd, "Go home and look into changing careers!"

"Whoa!" Gio said, "Those are strong words!"

Floyd said as he was still shocked, "Ouch talk about hitting where it hurts.."

"Bakugou is being careful because he's acknowledged his opponent's strength who has made it this far." Shota said, "It's because he's doing everything he can to win, that he can't go easy on her or let his guard down."

Reina couldn't help but be in awe of this; she couldn't help but give a small smile, "Shota… Even you see it…"

"Huh… Now I regret my words." Gio said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

The smoke started to clear up as Katsuki kept his eyes on Ochaco, as she still stood her ground.

"Not yet…" He said, "... She's still not dead!"

Ochaco caught her breath, as she wiped the dirt off of her face. "It's about time I think…" She soon said, "Thanks Bakugou-kun… For not letting your guard down."

Katsuki had been taken back by her words; it hadn't been long before he felt dust fall on his head. He along with the rest of the crowd looked up to the sky and were taken back by what they saw. There in the sky they saw a bunch of rocks floating high above their heads.

"She had a desperate plan like that up her sleeve!?" Izuku said surprised.

Gio soon played a song on his phone, which took his class back, "You'll never see it coming~!"

Floyd merely bonked him on the head for this, before he said after pausing the song on his phone, "Too soon man!"

"Meh, it was worth it." Gio said with a smirk.

"I'm gonna win!!" Ochaco shouted, "RELEASE!"

Thus the rocks started to fall towards him, and Ochaco started to run towards him as he had been distracted.

"With this much debris, whether he's evading or counter attacking, there will definitely be an opening!" Ochaco said in her thoughts, "In that moment, I'll get close to him with my secret move!"

She touched her own hands as she activated her Quirk, not even taking notice of the fact that Katsuki lifted his hand up to the air, towards the debris.

"I'll win! I'll win and be like Deku!"

BOOM!!

And just like that, Katsuki emitted a large explosion from his hand, creating a powerful gust of wind, causing Ochaco to fly back and everyone else to nearly fly out of their seats. Ochaco managed to regain herself, as she picked herself off; a ringing sound seemed to have gone off in her head as she started to recover.

"Since you're friends with Deku…" Katsuki said as the cloud started to clear and his hand smoked, "... I thought you'd be up to something like this."

Ochaco now had a fearful expression on her face, "He took it out in one shot…"

"Ba--" Present Mic started to say surprised, "--Bakugou delivers a satisfying explosion! He blasts boldly through Uraraka's secret plan!"

Floyd said as his jaw had been dropped, "He read her like a book.."

At this Gio was about to play the song on his phone again--

"Don't even think about it." Floyd said as Gio slowly put his phone down again.

Floyd soon noticed that Reina had a worried look on her face. "Hey Reina-chan." Floyd said, "Don't look so upset, I'm sure Uraraka has a plan of attack."

"That's…" Reina said as she didn't look at him, "... Not what I'm worried about…"

Floyd gave a quizzical look on his face before he asked, "whatcha talking about, Reina?"

None of the crowd didn't take notice that Katsuki's arm had started to shake a little. He let out a sigh as he grasped it, "... That was close."

Ochaco put her head down in defeat as she had been at a loss, "I did as much as I could, but in the end he wasn't phased at all…!" Ochaco soon stood up again, as she had a look of determination again, "... Even so…"

Surprisingly enough, Katsuki gave another rare smile, "All right than…" He said before he charged, "... LET'S GET SERIOUS URARAKA!"

"If it were Deku, Aihara-kun, or Reina-chan…" Ochaco said in her thoughts, "... They wouldn't give up!!"

Katsuki noticed the minute she put one foot forward, she lost her balance and fell on her side, causing him to stop. The whole crowd gasped at this and Class 1-A had a look of horror; Reina couldn't help but stand up from her seat as she looked to Ochaco.

Ochaco tried to move but found herself struggling to do so.

"My… Body…" She groaned, "...Won't do… What I… Want…"

"No way…" Floyd said.

"She passed her limit a long time ago…" Izuku said.

Katsuki saw Ochaco trying to move towards him despite her being on the ground; He got himself ready to fight once more, "I… Can still…!" She groaned, "... I can still…!"

"When I get big, I'll help you and mommy!"

"I appreciate the thought Ochaco, but as your dad I'd be even happier if you could achieve your dream. When that happens, you can take us to Hawaii!"

"I'll… Become… A… Hero…"
